The devil is in the details.

You don’t seem to get it. Mayo and Basallo aren’t just prospects. These guys are upper echelon elite offensive talents that have usually been at the top of their leagues offensively while also being v

Mullins has infinite more dog in him than Robert. Hard pass. Robert is terrible. He barely tries out there. 

I think you're thinking of Eloy Jimenez as being terrible. Robert is an elite talent with a unique combination of power and speed. 125 career OPS+ and 5.5 WAR per 162 game pace. That's good, actually.

The problem with Luis Robert is availability and given the likely asking price from the White Sox to get him it’s a hard pass for me. A trade for a veteran outfielder that can play CF might not be a bad idea, but the pitching has to be addressed first.

It does make sense to trade Mullins and get the RH CFer. I’m not sure who that is but I doubt it’s Robert. I think it would be more of a part time guy like Bader or Pillar or someone along those lines. 
 

You can argue for Mullins on the team next year but it’s a flimsy argument imo and he certainly it’s a long term piece and you don’t lose much by trading him now, as long as you are replacing him with someone else who can play the position well.

Oh no I definitely mean Robert.

Welp, Robert might get hurt.  Well, Mullins has been a sub .600 OPS player for since June 1st 2023.  That's well over a season.  We need better.  We have the prospects to buy better.  Robert's contract isn't that bad.

I would put CF as a bigger need than closer/SU man.  

SP, CF, CL/SU.

Have a deal in place for Mullins and then try to pull the trigger on Robert. So we don’t lose leverage. Im fine with a guy like Fedde…as I’m committed to resigning Burnes. Fedde bridges the gap to a Bradish return in 2026. And if Grayson continues to develop we’d continue to have a solid 1-3. I’m not mad if we trade for Skubal but if you’re gonna pay a heavy price I’d prefer they aggressively go after Skenes. I agree we need a reliever.

They could do a mega trade and get Robert, Brebbia, and Fedde.

Oh okay. 5.0 WAR in 2023 isn't terrible. That's really good actually. Similar to Cedric Mullins' 2021 historic season. 

Robert’s OBP the last 3 years is in the .310s …. He’s not a guy I’m crazy about.

Our FV score from #7 on is 45 or lower. Many other team have more 50 FV rated guys. Obviously they will be rescored the end of this year. 
 

Yankees have 9 at 50 or better..Dodgers have 11.. 

why did you start with #7? You said there was a fall off from the big 3.

But his OBP stinks …

Also, we act like the CWS are a dumpster fire, their GM actually had a good offseason.  He got way more for Cease then any of us thought.  They signed Fedde who will bring back a top 100 prospect+.  They put Crochet in the rotation.  

Luis Robert is the piece this offense needs.  I'd comp him to when we brought in Eric Davis back in the mid 90's.  His contract is affordable too.  Especially since we'd be moving on from Mullins.

You’re not understanding me. You said there was a fall off after the big three, now you’re moving the goalposts to #7. 
 

Also please provide a link because I have no idea where you’re getting this information.

      Which Povich do we get on Sunday?

      By Roy Firestone · Posted

      The youngster has shown us glimpses of dominance, and then, the very next start he is awful. Into the 8th inning against the White Sox with 10 strikeouts and no walks, he pitched one of the best games of ANY Oriole starter this season. But the  start before, against the Dodgers, he was bombed, and the game AFTER his great performance against Chicago he was battered by the Red Sox. We could really use a series win with a good start b Povich against Detroit. But I'm done trying to figure this guy out. He can be great one start and horrible the next. What do you think will be his line on Sunday?

      I'd give it to Burnes.  Great performance after the rough patch he went through.

      How can you even type the letters that spell that name?  If he were to become the coach, the entire team would participate in mandatory satanic rituals that include sacrificing children and the mutilation of newborn puppies. I heard from a reliable source that him, who we should not name, once bit the head off a baby kitten nun before going to bat and then mouth kissed the umpire who gave him an automatic home run.

      That's not true in the case of Chourio whatsoever, and using him as an example actually supports the point that those of us are making that are advocating for Mayo to get more playing time - that elite prospects need to play every day to get comfortable, and their teams need to let them struggle if need be. Chourio had a .558 OPS in April in 85 at bats, and he had .542 OPS in May in 65 at bats. He struggled mightily, but the Brewers gave him regular playing time and let him play through it. The precise thing the Orioles have failed to do with Mayo, Kjerstad, Norby, Cowser, Westburg, Ortiz, and Stowers.

      By the time Rutschman had 180 PA, his   OPS was well over .700.   Ditto Cowser.   Holliday at .524 is struggling way more than those two did.  He’s also several years younger, so maybe a longer adjustment period is to be expected.   But it’s still pretty disappointing that he’s not making much progress right now, after looking a little better when his second call-up started.   I don’t consider Mayo comparable.  He hasn’t even had 40 PA yet, and his playing time has been way more sporadic than Holliday’s.  He’s had a bad start but not enough PT to wonder why he hasn’t shown improvement yet.
